Perfect as a snack or complement to a glass of wine, they will adorn any friendly evening. Italians, who appreciate simplicity and exquisite taste, use such cupcakes at aperitifs or buffets to highlight their love for gastronomic pleasures. Serve them warm, enjoying the contrast between the delicate dough and the rich flavor of olives.
